DistributionLesser Antilles: Martinique. All subspecies described by LAZELL 1972 occur on Martinique.

roquet: southern and central Martinique, except for extreme southeastern part; Rocher de Diamant; intergrades with A. r. caracoli and A. r. salinei; specimens from Trinité and Ilet St.-Aubin combine characters of A. r. roquet, A. r. majoîgris, and A. r. caracoli. Type locality: None given. “Fort-de-France, Martinique” designated by Lazell 1972 (to neotype).

caracoli (HOLOTYPE MCZ 81601): eastern end of Presqu'île de la Caravelle.

majoigris (HOLOTYPE MCZ 81664): northeastern coast from Derrière Morne ta Le Lorain.

salinei (HOLOTYPE MCZ 81675): extreme southeastern Martinique; Île Cabrits, Ilet Chevalier.

summus (HOLOTYPE MCZ 81530): mountains of northern Martinique from Montagne Pelée south ta Absalon above Fort-de-France.

zebrilus (HOLOTYPE MCZ 81619): north-cental west coast from Case Pilote north ta Le Trou, south of St.-Pierre. Map legend:
TDWG region - Region according to the TDWG standard, not a precise distribution map.

NOTE: TDWG regions are generated automatically from the text in the distribution field and this does not always work properly. We are working on it.
 
TypesNeotype: MCZ 81581. Types for all subspecies described by Lazell in MCZ. 
CommentSynonymy: after Lazell 1972.

Distribution: not in Venezuela; reports from Venezuela are based on A. extremus, formerly, A. roquet extremus, a species that has been introduced to Venezuela [RIVAS et al. 2012]. Reported from other islands too (Grenada, Barbados, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Guiana) but now restricted to Martinique (Creer et al. 2001).

Nomenclature: SAVAGE (2003) suggested to reject Lacepède’s (1788) “Histoire Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares” as a non-binominal work (Case 3226; Bull. Zool. Nom. 60 (2)). This application has been successful. The ICZN (2005) has ruled that Lacepède’s (1788) work (and all subsequent editions of this work) are rejected as an unavailable, non-binominal work.

Size: max snouth-vent-length (SVL) in mm (male/female): 86/66
Size: max snouth-vent-length (SVL) in mm (male/female): 82/62 (summus)
Size: max snouth-vent-length (SVL) in mm (male/female): 82/50 (majolgris)
Size: max snouth-vent-length (SVL) in mm (male/female): 82/63 (zebrilus)
Size: max snouth-vent-length (SVL) in mm (male/female): 79/58 (caracoli)
Size: max snouth-vent-length (SVL) in mm (male/female): 78/62 (salinei)

Species groups: Dactyloa roquet species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012).
